take out your steering column cover, you'll see a bunch of white, yellow/balck, yellow and black wire. tap it in the white one

no dont do that
thats wrong.. theres are slots open in your fuse box under your dash.. it should look like a small little square with a piece of metal coming out of it...get a test light and turn your parking lights on and see which one it is.... on my integ its the second little box..
